Men’s: Comme des Garcons AW14

January 19, 2014January 19, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

The Comme des Garcons Homme Plus collection for AW14 was all about Hiroshima chic and apocalyptic style that this label is believing in from the beginning. The collection was (no wonder) dark and dull, although there were some pieces that are really high IQ. For example the necklace that remind suite’s collar. Or the grungy chunky sweaters with holes cut out… And the most amusing and frightening thing of this greasy collection was the hair that models had- it reminded me of “Alien” movie were these shrimp-like UFO had these long, black structures on heads. This CdG presentation is definitely not the basic one, but still, it’s fun… And spooky.

Paris: Always Together at Le Galliera

January 1, 2014January 6, 2024 | Design & Culture by Ed

Between the walls of the adorable building of Musee Galliera in Paris, I met this couple- she, dressed in black, and him, dressed in black (and a lovely fur colour I am envy about!). Both in hats. This lovely couple definitely got something about them- their attitude to dress how they feel, making a perfect match. Here are some snaps from Musee Galliera where the Alaia exhibition took place- soon more to come!

Black Says Don’t Bother Me

December 26, 2013December 26, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

I know it’s a bit out of date since Christmas fun ends today, but… Still, the Christmas feeling is not appearing to go away. The Alexander Wang’s New York flagship store in SoHO just got a Festive Season makeover. No wonder in what colour- black. Black only. The colour that is best friend of Wang. Decorated with black Christmas trees and teddy bears, the boutique looks as always raw and cold, but… Special. By this occasion, I also had a peek at the Resort 2014 collection of Alexander’s line, and just noticed how great it is for New Year Eve! Of course, it’s great for people who prefer black & white elegance than fussy-flossy sequins. Simple, sexy white dresses and black masculine suits are seen in the collection, while the shoes look comfortable and pretty cool. Worn with some silver jewellery and leather hand-bags, the outfits seem to be very occasional, but at the same time good for other events in the upcoming year…. Will you choose black for your New Year Eve galore?

Neo. Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall’14

December 10, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Prabal Gurung is a dress man. He knows how to make women happy in a dress… and not in a dress. This sophisticated Pre-Fall 2014 collection was full of edge, sharp lines and colours- it’s for a strong women full of creatvity and attitude. First looks kept in black-white-grey look casual and elegant, and the last ones- red-carpert-gala-like, although it has something fun in it. And I really love the colours- pink and blue by PG looks mind-blowing!
